For Della Tsang, Shadow Falls isn't just a camp: it's home. As a vampire who's never fit in with her human family, it's the one place she can truly be herself. But when a mysterious new guy arrives at camp, Della’s whole world is thrown into turmoil. Chase is a vampire with secrets, who knows more than he’s telling. But the more time she spends with him, the more she begins to trust this attractive stranger—and feel drawn to him. But romance is the last thing she wants—as she keeps telling Steve, the hunky shapeshifter who won’t stop trying to win her heart. And if Della isn't careful, he just might succeed. When a new case puts everyone she cares about in danger, Della’s determined to do everything she can to save them . . . even if it means teaming up with Steve and Chase, who leave her more confused than ever. With their lives on the line, will Della and her friends survive—with their hearts intact?
Review: I adored C.C. Hunter's Shadow Falls series so I was thrilled to discover she was writing a spinoff series featuring Della. She was always one of my favorite secondary characters in the novel so it's nice to see Della in the spotlight, however reluctant she may be to be there.
It was wonderful to revisit with the entire Shadow Falls gang. From the outset, I had a pretty good idea of what was going on but that didn't make the story any less enjoyable. Although if Della would learn to share her burdens with her friends, many things would have been resolved faster. It is nice to see some of Della's barriers break down, however. I loved visiting familiar characters through Della's eyes. It is nice to see Kylie is still doing well. It was also wonderful to revisit Burnett and Holliday. The newcomer Chase is a bit of an enigma and I had no idea what angle he was playing. I'm still not sure how I feel about him.
Although most of the storyline is resolved, there are still enough loose ends to weave into another exciting advenure. I have no idea where things are headed, but I'm along for the ride. Honestly, I'm routing for Della to be happy no matter what path she chooses in life.
